KOOPA. The theory is cool and all, but... math... why... why must there be math...

Because Math is quite literally the universal language, and, when dealing with the universe, Math will be involved.

In all honestly, I love math. While not being super good in it, nor have much knowledge about it, I still love it. Reading for example the equation you wrote makes me feel good for some reason.

Also, how often is math used in Physics? I often hear that Physics is one of the hardest things one can study while computer science being one of the easiest, if I now take a look at mathematics for IT 1 I can not imagine how physics math would be

In plain physics Math is pretty standard, the equations make sense as do there variables.

Like F=ma for force, acceleration, and mass. Or (1/2)at^2+Vit+s (the i is in the sub area, meaning initial) this is the position equation, which can be used to find distances, acceleration, time, velocity, and displacement.

With this stuff.... Well, it might just be easier if i show you.

Than we have something like this:

That is the equation for the general quantum state of n (any amount) of bosons. Now, the majority of this equation is greek, but you can see that there is a wheel and s straight pi in there. I don't know what those mean. at all. Although it would seem part of it is the Sum of the absolute value of Phi Norse wheel to Norse wheel Phi N. (Phi is used in standard physics to represent Azimuth angles, not sure if there is a difference.)

Physics is all math. All really really hard math. The only reason we have these theories is because of Calculus, since we can prove there validity by methods of integration and derivation.
